Another day another Kardashian revelation. This time we cast our eyes over to Pete Davidson’s chest, and specifically what’s written on it.

Promoting her new HULU series on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, Kim revealed that her new boyfriend has already had at least three “cutesy” tattoos done in her honour. The mother-of-four told host Ellen DeGeneres that Davidson had paid tribute to her aspiring law career with one reading: “my girl is a lawyer”.

But Kardashian also revealed that Davidson had gone a step further to commemorate his six-month relationship, and had branded himself with Kim’s name. That’s right, not with ink, with a hot poker. Very medieval indeed.

Kardashian, who seemed charmed by the gesture, explained the rationale behind it: "I think he was like, ‘I want something that’s there that I can’t, you know, get rid of,’ cause he’s in the process of getting rid of his arm tats and his neck tats.

"So he’s like, ‘I don’t wanna be able to get rid of it or to cover it up, and I just wanted it, like, there as a scar on me.’"

​​For those unfamiliar with maiming in the name of love, branding doesn’t involve ink but instead leaves a permanent scar from a burn. Kardashian went on to reveal that Davidson, with whom she went Instagram official with last week,  had sustained his latest body art with a hot iron.

Davidson, who is in the process of removing several of his tattoos from his neck and chest in order to be taken more seriously as a leading Hollywood man, has 70 inkings in total, including tributes to former flames Ariana Grande and Cazzie David.

Speaking to Variety magazine earlier this month, Kardashian said she had not filmed for her new reality TV with her new boyfriend but said she was “not opposed to it”. So although we won’t be seeing Davidson on our screens just yet, Kardashian promised viewers will be given an insight into how the relationship started and crucially “who reached out to who”.

The budding romance comes amid more drama surrounding Kardashian’s ex-husband Kanye West, who has been suspended from Instagram for violating its hate speech policy.

The rapper and fashion designer is banned from posting anything on Instagram for the next 24 hours after a slew of new outbursts on the social media platform.

West, 44, has been making headlines in recent months for his vitriolic posts about his ex-wife’s new boyfriend which included a violent music video featuring burning effigies of what appeared to be the comedian.
